Best used when…
a) Tezuka confessed to Fuji (and all this happening in a character CD, making them canon)
b) Christian and Oliver from Verbotene Liebe
Nord/LB Bank in Hannover
The steel and glass and sky.
I fancy the name to come from a CD.
Or maybe a particularly edgy drink.
Maybe a bar?
Do you like Lego? I do. But I’ve never been to one of the adventure parks called Legoland. There’s one in Denmark, one in the UK, two in the US and one in Germany! The picture is taken from their website and shows the miniature Lego-Castle Neuschwanstein ;)
Have you ever been to Legoland / do you wanna go?
Lego + Germany = dreams come true. ‘Nuff said.

Toast Hawaii was invented by a German TV chef and got popular in the 1950s. I guess every German has had it at least once. Not everybody likes it though ;) But it’s the easiest thing in the world to prepare and I remember that it was often served on birthday parties.
Here’s how you make it:
Slice of toast -> butter it -> put a slice of ham on it -> then a slice of pineapple -> a slice of cheese on top -> some spices e.g. pepper/chili/curry (depending on what you like) -> bake it until the cheese has melted (at 350 F / 180 C)

The Prize Doesn’t Always Go To The Most Deserving
Irena Sendler
1910-2008
A 98 year-old German woman named Irena Sendler recently died. During WWII, Irena worked in the Warsaw Ghetto as a plumbing/sewer specialist. Irena smuggled Jewish children out; infants in the bottom of the tool box she carried and older children in a burlap sack she carried in the back of her truck. She also had a dog in the back that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in and out of the ghetto. The soldiers wanted nothing to do with the dog, and the barking covered the kids’ and infants’ noises. Irena managed to smuggle out and save 2500 children. She eventually was caught, and the Nazis broke both her legs, arms and beat her severely. Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she smuggled out and kept them in a glass jar buried under a tree in her backyard. After the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived and reunited some of the families. Most had been killed. She helped those children get placement into foster family homes or adopted.
Last year Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize. She was not selected. Al Gore won - for a slide show on Global Warming.

For the record, while I do believe this lady rightfully deserves recognition, we have to accept the fact that the more pressing concern for humanity is the environment and global warming- our carbon footprint is something we’ve long taken for granted and now that we’ve come to realize just how much it can change the way we live our lives, I still agree with Al Gore taking the Nobel Prize.
Besides, Ms. Sendler’s ‘prize’ is more than what the Nobel Prize can give her- there’s a whole generation of children who are now themselves parents or grandparents who’d always cherish her memories and her life.
Tomorrow, on September 18th, it’s time for the OKTOBERFEST in Munich again.
This is the 200th year of the world-famous fair. The first Oktoberfest took place in 1810.
For those of you who own an iPhone/iPod, there’s even a free Oktoberfest app that you can download now. It’ll provide all the information you need about the beer tents, attractions etc. And you can check your per mill!
Have you ever been to the Oktoberfest or are you planning a visit?
OKTOBERFEST! BRING ‘EM BEER OUT! NOW!
That beauty mark.
Those glasses.
Thanks, love. I do believe that’s Ludwig’s hand right there. <3 *fap*
